Interested in getting some health and wellness tips? Members of the campus and local community are invited to attend a daylong Wellness Day on Saturday, March 23.

Throughout the day, a series of fitness classes and workshops will be offered. Sample offerings include classes focused on different yoga techniques for adults and young children, Zumba, and belly-dancing. In addition, information tables staffed by campus and local community programs will address a range of health and wellness needs, such as free blood pressure screenings, natural skin care product, essential oils, and integrated health solutions.

Individuals will also have an opportunity to receive complimentary chair and reiki massages. The event will take place in the Mueller Center from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission to the event is free; however, individuals will need to pay to attend any of the class offerings. Classes will cost $10 for faculty, staff, and community members. The classes are free for all Rensselaer students with current ID. Class participants should bring their own yoga mats. All proceeds will go directly to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

The event is sponsored by the Mueller Center, along with the Counseling Center and the Gallagher Student Health Center; in addition to community support from the Shanti Yoga Studio.
